Special Brigade

The Special Brigade is an elite special forces unit in Serbia, founded on 29 September 2006. The brigade combined the elite forces of Serbia and Montenegro, including marines, counter-terrorist units, paratroopers, and already-existing special forces units. After a nine-week selective training process, commandos go through basic and advanced training courses, and they are trained in counter-terrorism, special reconnaissance, commando tactics, airborne tactics, and diving tactics. In 2016, the Special Brigade had a strength of 1,000 troops, stationed in Pancevo and Nis.
